Smarter, More Secure Data Center Optimization Starts Here.

Between hybrid cloud adoption, explosive AI growth, and emerging technologies, IT leaders face a fundamental challenge: how do you build infrastructure ready for both today and tomorrow? The answer lies in building for flexibility. HPE ProLiant Compute Gen 12 servers, backed by Intel and supported by partners like American Digital, represent a shift from static, long-term hardware investments to adaptable infrastructure that evolves with your business.

‍A New Definition of Future-Proof
The old approach was simple: buy hardware that wouldn't need replacing for five to seven years. Those days are gone. As Michael Meek, HPE's Commercial Sales Director, explains, it's become much more about "providing flexibility for whatever workload a customer may have. Being adaptable to be optimized."  Many organizations still run outdated servers, but the pressing question isn't how long hardware can run—it's whether it still serves your business needs. AI is a perfect example: as Bob Panos, President of American Digital, notes, "A couple of years ago, we didn't know AI was necessarily coming in the way it's come to the enterprise. Every one of our customers is engaged with AI. That's a perfect future-proof case that two years ago in their planning, three years ago, they weren't thinking about." HPE ProLiant Compute Gen 12 servers are built for exactly this kind of change—featuring an ILO7 chip with silicon root of trust security, quantum resistance capabilities, and support for workloads ranging from traditional applications to "ranging from traditional applications to cutting-edge AI." Following HPE's Juniper acquisition, organizations can also deploy a complete three-tiered architecture spanning networking, server, and storage.

‍Planning and Strategy
‍Good infrastructure decisions start with analysis. American Digital works with customers on pre-sales assessments covering workload evaluation, application requirements, and sizing for a three to five-year horizon. This ensures proper sizing of compute, memory, storage, and networking resources—and the flexibility to expand as needs evolve. Finding the right balance between over-provisioning and under-provisioning is one of the most persistent challenges in IT. HPE ProLiant Compute Gen 12 servers address this through support for wide-ranging hardware configurations and additions, giving organizations room to grow without unnecessary upfront spend.

‍The Value of Partnership
The most important element of building resilient infrastructure isn't the hardware—it's the partnerships supporting it. As Panos puts it: "Strong partnerships between HPE, American Digital, and our customers, constant communication, constant education—making sure our customers are aware of what's out there, what the latest and greatest is." Supply chain constraints, rapid technology shifts, and changing requirements make today's IT landscape difficult to navigate alone. The combination of HPE's security-first design, Intel's processing power, and American Digital's customer focus helps organizations stay ahead—from quantum resistance to full-stack architecture support.

‍Moving Forward
‍Building for tomorrow is about infrastructure flexible enough to adapt, scalable enough to grow, and backed by partnerships that help you navigate change. HPE ProLiant Compute Gen 12 servers provide that foundation across traditional workloads, hybrid cloud, and AI initiatives.
